I can't believe that May is standing on its last legs! I'm sorry to see the year winding down - it's been such a great Grade Three class to work with!

If you have an extra minute, check out the Hummingbird Link. A crow knocked into the nest last Friday and the baby hummers were knocked out. The gentleman who set up the web cam managed to find one baby and return it to the nest, but the other couldn't be found. The baby in the nest is growing at the speed of light and is nearly as big as Momma! Can it be long before it flies away?

Brain buster for the weekend: A man in a restaurant complained to the waiter that there was a fly in his cup of coffee. The waiter took the cup away and promised to bring a fresh cup of coffee. He returned a few moments later. The man tasted the coffee and complained that this was his original cup of coffee with the fly removed. He was correct, but how could he have known?

3. The goose cam link doesn't seem to have the hummingbird connection any more, so I've added a "Hummingbird Nest" link at the side so that we can still check in on the Orange County mama and babies.
